A lot of factors go into calculating your food scores. We start with the nutritional content of the food and your dietary inflammation profile. With cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology, we are able to predict the impact of food on your biology. That impact is represented with a score.

Your blood sugar control tells you how well your body clears sugar (glucose) from your bloodstream, and how well your body handles carb-rich foods. This measure is based on your blood sugar response to the cookies.

Your blood fat control tells you how well your body clears fats from your blood, and how well your body handles fat-rich foods. This measure is based on your blood fat response to the cookies.

Carbs are an essential source of energy. Your body turns the carbs you eat into glucose (sugar) which ends up in your blood. The quantity of carbs you eat will impact your blood sugar levels.

Different carbs release sugar into your blood at different rates, and this is related to the glycemic index (GI) of the food. High-quality carbs tend to have a lower GI. They will release sugar slowly and are therefore less likely to peak your blood sugar levels, helping you to sustain your energy, fend off hunger, and minimize dietary inflammation.

Fats are essential for health & have many vital roles in your body. Your body absorbs the fats you eat into your blood, and it can take about 6-8 hours to clear. The quantity of fat you eat will impact the build-up of fat in your blood and how quickly you clear it. Limiting the build-up of fat in your blood can help reduce dietary inflammation.

Different types of fat may have different effects on long-term health. Also, certain types of fats can be cleared from your blood more easily. High-quality fats can be easier for your body to clear and may reduce dietary inflammation. High-quality fats are also linked with better long-term health.

Fiber is a type of carb that your body doesn’t digest. Fiber feeds your gut bacteria, helping to promote a healthier microbiome. Fiber can also help slow digestion and regulate your body’s use of sugar, which helps to keep hunger and blood sugar levels in check.

Some foods may be high in fiber but are ultra-processed. These could have a negative impact on your gut health and blood sugar. We, therefore, take the quality of fiber in food into account.

Protein is an essential macronutrient. It’s found in virtually every tissue in your body, and it’s available in an abundance of foods along with other nutrients. Protein itself does not impact your body’s blood sugar and blood fat levels.

Processed foods are known to be poorer for health compared to unprocessed foods, and are generally associated with weight gain and risk of chronic diseases. We use the NOVA classification system to categorize foods according to the degree to which they are processed.

Sugar in food impacts your blood sugar levels and can result in rapid changes that make you feel tired and hungry. Too much sugar can also increase the risk of chronic diseases in the long term.

Sodium has important biological functions, but too much can increase the risk of hypertension, chronic conditions like stroke, and other heart diseases over the long term.

Strong scientific evidence links certain foods to health outcomes, and we have taken this into account.

Fruits and vegetables are essential for good health. Not only do they have a lot of vitamins and minerals, but they are rich in fiber and hundreds of compounds specific to plants that are beneficial for your gut and overall health. So if your meal contains some, it gets a little bonus.

Eating too much red meat and poultry is linked with a higher risk of a range of chronic diseases in the long term. So if your meal contains red meat or poultry we give it a penalty.

Fermented foods can help support gut health by giving your microbiome a dose of probiotics. Fermented foods get a small bonus.
